Pictures of halflife-counterstrike were flashing behind the reporter, who said, '...are pointing the finger at computer games, such as this." (Ofcourse, talking about the american sniper killings and trying to blame it on counterstrike.)

"OUTRAGEOUS!" Is what I say. When there are games that involve snipering innocent people for points, I wouldnt have attacked counterstrike of all games for a start. Do you think our beloved games are turning people into psychotic mass-murdering criminals of destruction? I sure as hell dont think so.

hmm is there an echo in here? *drum kit thing*.......*a few coughs and yells*

anyway, i reckon its ridiculous, id say 99% ppl dont get influenced by games and go psycho, but it does happen. i had to do an assignment on a psycho, and i did a teenager that mimmiced ned kelly or something aaaaaaaaaages ago, and he went on rampages, but he got killed hahaha sucka. oh yeah ned kelly got 14 shots to the legs from feds...ouch

well, I have to say that i have my fair share against counterstrike, and playing it for lengthy periods would probably drive me to kill someone, an attack on games, is an attack on Haz, The media is stupid to blame games, they should first get some idea of you know, what the fuck theyre talking about before they go off and accuse games, this guy probably doesnt even play games, because the chances are that the sniper is some form of crazy gypsie, as penny arcade has stated.

Damn people always blaming us geeks for going insane from playing computer games and killing people just because your usual psycotic is classified as obsesive and had troubles with having a social life. Your average gamer is obsessed with games and usually hasn't got a social life.
If they only knew that most gamers are to afraid of the sun to go outside to try anything like that and most arn't campers.

The strongest glues shall not hold them, their suffering will go unheeded,

Bloody reporters. Every single time there is some violent act committed people are quick to blame the gaming industry. For some reason they believe that red pixels induce violent behaviours in people. A while back Id software had to hire some lawyers to defend against some lawsuit from the Columbine high school shootings. The game that they were using as a basis? DOOM OF ALL THINGS.

In any case. The american sniper is obviously bloody skilled. I mean you dont just pick up a sniper rifle and have a 1:1 ratio of shots to hits. To do that you have to have trained.

engima, the sniper had the back seets taken out/could be taken out so he could lay down, and there was a hole in the trunk of the car. he picked off ppl from a close range (it wasnt a sniper rifle, practically a small auto rifle with a scope) so its not that hard to miss, cause he got em close. then the other person would speed off...it was some afro-american dude and his 17 yr old step son.

anyway, its all rubbish that they blame video games on violence. some ppl can be so stupid

Hmmm. From memory, and i may be wrong, the sniper managed to hit every single one of his victims. That in itself is difficult. You can't just pick up a rifle and shoot, you have to at least have a modicum of training. There is a reason people shoot hundreds of bullets in order to gain accuracy.

just hitting them doesnt mean he doesnt pelt 5 bullets at him, then hit him afterwards. we dont know that he used one shot for each of them.

and yeah i think the fella was a retired marine/army person i cant remember.

anyway i said that his son drove off when he killed them, but i dont think thats true. cause the son said 'he should die because he killed innocent ppl'...but if he helped, why would he say that? so he couldnt have anyway. mb

Geez, that must be horrible. Its always assumed that America is so glamorous and that we have this wonderful government, but I hate our government more than anything. It is so unorganized and unjust. Nothing I can do about that for a while though.
